How is this tax legal?
Seems like a poll tax to me.
Can cities do this?
How is this tax legal?
Increasingly nowadays, there's no concern whatsoever on the part of the anti's regarding what's legal or what isn't. They simply pass a law, chuckle to each other, and then wait for the long and drawn out and expensive (to us) challenge process (if one is forthcoming) of seeing if the law stands, or is overturned. And they fund the defense of their infringement efforts oftentimes, using your taxpayer money.
Gotta give the devils their due. Even the mob never had a racket this good.
T Many on this board think it's a bad idea - "I don't want my representative having to constantly evaluate the Constitutional potential of everything they do." Well, maybe if that bill seems kinda unconstitutional on its face, perhaps they shouldn't get behind it in the first place.
"Well, the Constitution says you have a right to keep and bear arms ... but nothing about purchasing them."

Might as well go all Dr. Evil and tax firearms at one-beellion percent.

This is the kind of crap that requires closed-loop feedback. If the legiscritters can pass blatantly unconstitutional laws without some kind of cost imposed for doing so, they can and will continue to attack with impunity.
I seriously think that we need to have a policy where elected officials are removed from office, permanently, when legislation they voted in favor of is found unconstitutional (and they've exhausted their due process.)
